Description

As a school-university collaboration, the Eszterhazy University Eger in Hungary has launched the Physics from the suitcase project in 2019, i.e. it established a lending library of classroom-sized experimental kits. Pre-service teachers designed inquiry-based activity sheets for the optics and the electricity kits, covering 12-14 weeks of teaching. The two, one-semester-long modules have been implemented among 7’th and 8’th graders in two controlled pilot experiments that demonstrated significant enhancement of the students’ content knowledge, progressively improving inquiry skills, and a more positive study attitude in the members of the experimental group.
